Here’s the potential problem with comparing yourself to others. When we...

Picture this scenario.
You’ve been on a quest to eat healthy for the past few weeks. It’s been tough but you are making small changes and seeing steady results. But then, it’s Friday and someone brings in donuts and you can’t help yourself and eat two of them.

“What’s the point?!” you’re thinking. “I suck at this! I just can’t do this anymore.”
Sound familiar?
Now picture this.
You are driving down the freeway and you get a...

How do you start off your mornings? Do you have a routine or ritual that you go through? Or, is it more of a haphazard series of activities as you rush to get out the door?
Most successful people I know have a morning routine. And, it makes sense. There are several advantages to having one:

Ever tried to make a change in your life but continued to struggle without success?
Maybe you were trying to get on a new schedule by waking up at 6 a.m. every morning. You recently read a blog post about the habits of successful people and even had a friend tell you their life changed after they made the shift. So you’re motivation is high and you go for it!

In positive psychology, the term “flow”, also known as the zone, is the mental state of operation in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity. In essence, flow is characterized by complete absorption in what one does. In his book appropriately titled “Flow”, Csikszentmihalyi (who coined the term), describes flow as completely focused motivation. It is a single-minded immersion...

Feeling unmotivated? Stuck in a funk? We all have those days. You’re on a plan to create something in your life – your ideal body, a promotion at work or a fantastic product. But, you’re exhausted and just keep asking yourself “Why am I doing this?”
As part of the goal setting process with each of my clients, I help them identify the ‘why’ behind their goal. It’s important to get really clear on the desired outcome,...
